I searched for "wont start" "wont run" etc etc..

Info: 91 CRX SI
Stock Motor
No mods

Ran fun up until now..drove it to work and parked it.... went and did some work... got out and pulled my crx into the shop...took my front plate off and then went to start the car up... it'll crank but not turn on... so I looked for grounds and all the ones I saw were okay.... took the plug out and looked at it.... then I put the plug back in and unhooked a wire from the dizzy and held it close while a buddy cranked it... no spark....

I checked all my fuses under the dash...

Where should I look to fix my no spark problem?.... it ran perfect up until I parked it in the shop bout a hour ago...

thanks

 

check your main relay or maybe the igniter in the distributor?
good luck

 

main relay, is that one of the ones in the engine bay?

 

main relay is located inside on drivers side behind the coin tray

 

An easy way to check this is if when you turn the car on, you hear a click from the drivers footwell. The best way to check for spark is get a spare plug and unhook a wire, put the plug in, and ground the body of the plug to the block or other grounding point. If you get a spark, then obviously you have spark.

Tried that.. no spark...

I'll check for the main relay...


It's throwing a code... it flashed 6 times... paused 10 times.. paused 15 times.. then back to 6 ... then 10... etc etc....

I don't know what that means.. guess Ill google it.

 

Are these right?


6 Coolant temperature sensor or circuit

10 Intake air temperature sensor or circuit.

15 No ignition output signal - possible faulty igniter.

 

there is your problem 15 No ignition output signal - possible faulty igniter.

but check you mainrelay they can still click when they go bad
good luck

 

So the main relay is a little black box correct? I took it out.. looks fine but I'm unsure of how to check to see if it actually works....

Putting it back in.. resetting the battery and gonna try to start it...

What should I check on my dizzy?

so you have no spark, when you crank it does it backfire? check your coil and igniter it's inside the distributer.

Inspect it, might want to replace it, i'd look for a used one if i were you. by the way are you getting any cel codes? (check engine light)?

6 ECT - water temperature sensor
10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor
15 Ignition output signal

 

So basically I gotta get a new igniter then..

 

igniter can cause it and so can the coil. or you can bust out with a voltage meter and start seeing which one has no/low power. i forgot wat the avg volts were i'm pretty sure their in here on honda tech somewhere

 

check to make sure your getting 12v to the coil, the igniter, im not sure how u test that, but sounds like that may be your problem

 

Main Relay is pretty much just fuel related so dont even bother with that if your not getting spark.

 

So I sat and played PS2 for a while after I took apart the dizzy and what not.... and it wouldnt start even after putting it back together..

There's a sensor near the wiper motor thing (pass side almost by the firewall) that I unplugged and plugged it in the other way (upside down or right way up , not sure if it matters) but it started right up.... it's still throwing the 1st two codes though.. but it runs fine...? =/
